Matilda Baselayer Bottom

Made from an innovative blend of wool and nylon, the Backcountry Matilda Baselayer Bottom is an ideal base for active pursuits on snowy winter days. Nuyarn wraps merino wool around a nylon core, giving you soft next-to-skin comfort that's warm, durable, and layers easily beneath your ski pants. And while thermal comfort might be the name of the game, the fabric is also moisture-wicking and odor-resistant, so you can play harder and stay out longer.

Waistband rolled up!

Fit: True to size

Size Bought: Extra small

Height: 5'7"

I liked the color, and it fit snug (which is usually how I like my long underwear), but it was tight around the seam of the lower leg design, which was uncomfortable against my skin. Also, the most disappointing part of the pants was the elastic in the waistband; it literally rolled in half under the casing after I tried them on. I was shocked about this. A well made waistband has stitched down elastic, so it does not move. These definitely need a makeover.

They're Alright

I really like the look of these, but they do seem a little thin although they are keeping me warm just fine. I wear them cross country skiing in Minnesota. I bought a Medium as I normally do and think they fit perfectly. One thing I really don't like though is how the seam comes right up the crotch. Like, WTF. I don't want my pants all up in my business like that. I once bought underwear that did the same thing. So uncomfortable. It should be illegal. Get some ladies helping you design your stuff Backcountry! I'm not really that mad about it, but just sayin.

great fit for my wife

My new fav baselayer

Familiarity: I've used it several times

Fit: True to size

Size Bought: M

Height: 5'8"

I am in love with the Matilda baselayer set. I bought these in the turquoise color and couldn't be happier with them. They're really minimal to layer but have maximum warmth, these are my new go-to for sure.

A great base layer

Great Baselayer

Familiarity: I've used it several times

Fit: True to size

I love these pants. I love the color combo. I'm 5'8' and have a long torso and shorter legs and I love how the waist comes up high so you aren't constantly pulling them up. I wore these hiking up Grandeur Peak in December on a 35 degree day and I was very surprised by how warm these are. I wore these with a fleece pant over them and I was hot! I sweat a ton too and these dry insanely fast and are truly odor resistant. They are thin, but that's what I want when I layer up. I'm happy to have these in my gear closet.

A LOT thinner than expected

Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Fit: True to size

This review is based on comparing these bottoms to the smartwool 150 bottoms. These are a lot thinner materiel, i'm not sure how warm they will be while outside. They are also super see through, so wear them under other clothes only. I like the waistband better than the smartwool 150 bottoms, its a bit thicker and does not dig in as much, but overall I do not think they are worth it for the price.
